Episode 010 - Silicon Carbide and the Electrification of Everything

Picture a world where the hum of electricity permeates every aspect of our lives, from the devices we hold in our hands to the vehicles that transport us across vast distances. This is the world of the electrification of everything, a paradigm shift that promises to reshape our relationship with energy and power. As once analog and unpowered items are augmented with electrical systems, we find ourselves at the precipice of a new era. But with this transformation comes a challenge: the need for power switching and integrated circuits that can keep pace with the extraordinary demands of our increasingly electrified world. From electric cars to heat pumps and data centers, the appetite for power grows ever more insatiable. Novel technologies like silicon carbide and gallium nitride offer a glimpse into a future where energy density and power density reach new heights, enabling devices to operate at peak performance for longer periods. Recent news stories highlight the global changes in power demand, as nations grapple with the infrastructure required to support this electrified future. Yet, even as we face these challenges, the pace of innovation offers hope. With each passing day, brilliant minds are developing solutions that will propel us forward, harnessing the power of electricity to create a more sustainable, efficient, and connected world.   How can Microchip Technology help manage the Electrification of Everything?   Links from the episode: https://www.microchip.com/en-us/products/power-management/silicon-carbide-sic-devices-and-power-modules https://www.microchip.com/en-us/products/power-management/silicon-carbide-sic-devices-and-power-modules/design-resources/hardware https://www.microchip.com/en-us/products/power-management/silicon-carbide-sic-devices-and-power-modules/design-resources      Guests:  Clayton Pillion
